P52 Week #26: School's Out



Now that school is mostly out (yay for Summer school! :/),

I have been working at a pool as a lifeguard.

And not only do we guard lives, but we clean and maintain the pool as well.

There are two things that make this difficult beyond measure:

1. Our investation of ants

and

2. the onslaught of Crape Myrtle tree blossoms.

Smart people from the neighborhood builders planted EIGHT Crape
Myrtle trees surrounding the pool.  Everytime the wind blows, we have to skim the whole pool.

And I'm pretty sure all these ants are planning to take over the world.  They have impressive war skills.  They are everywhere and get into everything.




So many many blossoms...

Sometimes after I skim the pool, I feel like the trees are mocking me saying:
"There's more where that came from!"

And then 10 minutes later, you can't tell I skimmed.


Imagine a big gust of wind that makes thousands of blossoms blow over the water...

Now imagine tiny little screams from the kids in the shallow end...

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

haha, made my day.







Hmm, here's another cluster.

Wait. What is that?



Oh goodness, taking over the land wasn't good enough.

Now these buggers are conquering the high seas.

hahahahaha...

Argh, matey!



I was so excited to find a merging of the great pains of my job.
Making up for it. A little. haha



I still don't understand how this happened...



Poor guy. I think he's lost.

P52 Week #25 - Fathers



For Father's Day, I decided to bake my daddy

sugar cookies!!

P.S. And will never again!  WAY too much work. haha

Well, my dad is super obsessed with all things Texas, so...

this was my idea of a splendid gift!


Aren't these cookie cutters just so exciting?!

Texas and Bevo...




You know the pinata cookies all over Pinterest for Cinco de Mayo?


Well I decided to experiment...




Pinned Image



But I used my dad's favorite: Reese's Pieces!



When you bake the cookies, some need holes to hold the candies.







This photo got flipped somehow??? Just ignore the backwards Texas? haha


The finished products!!




Happy Daddy.
He loved them!

Heck yes, we are!!

Load up!!


 All aboard!

Thank you Spring Fire Department







Yep, my dad is THAT cool.  He gets at least one little kid to do something silly
with him, so he has an excuse to do it too.

Things like playing in the water cannon water....


I love my dad. Only he can get away with such silliness.

Best picture!




Oh ya, Tiger Pride.

What I Wore: Orange You Glad?




I was doubly excited to give a presentation in my rhetoric class:

an organization helping girls in New York City who are victims of human trafficking. 

They help with Victim's Rights through legal services, provide safe housing, job/career training, therapy, and much more!

Always remember: all girls are of great worth. Like gems. :)

2. I was finally able to wear this super cute outfit!
I love blazers!!

When I start Methods this Fall and Student Teaching next Spring,
my wardrobe will be full of cute blazers.  I've decided.







Darn you, blurryness!!


Blazer and pants: Forever 21
Shoes: Payless
Shirt (under blazer): Rue 21

I was able to get a few good shots of the super moon

from a while back.

I hope the neighbors don't mind the photos of their house on here...

My younger sister plays on her high softball team.  She plays catcher and first base.

This year the Lady Tigers made it to the 5A Championship game!!

They are 2nd place in the state of Texas.

I am so proud of them. :)

Here are some pics from the season.

(and next week I'll have pics from State!)








And I was able to go to a playoff game held at the SHSU stadium!!

And I have to say, December looked mighty fine playin' on that field.
